Chapter 823 1/2 Compared to Yvonne's state of dilemma, Melanie was much calmer. She sat expressionlessly on the couch, replying to messages from clients on her phone.
“Mel, aren't you worried that Eugene will find out?” Yvonne asked.
Melanie stopped typing for a moment. “If we go back now, he’ll be even more suspicious,” She knew Eugene. He was a paranoid man. Although he appeared unsuspecting on the surface, he could see through everything. This was something Melanie had just realized.
If they were to return hastily with Merry now, it would only make him more suspicious. She was already flustered when she suddenly saw Eugene earlier.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Didn’t you tell Simon earlier that Merry is your illegitimate child? What are you afraid of? | bet Simon probably still thinks he’s your child,” Reny reminded from the side.
Yvonne slapped her forehead, suddenly realizing it. She then relaxed. “Right, there's that idiot, Simon.” She did not mind suddenly becoming a mother. Merry was so cute that she was eager to be a mother, especially since she did not have to go through the pain herself. Having such a lovely daughter was a blessing.
Melanie had no objection to this either. She did not want Eugene to discover Merry’s existence, so she would handle things accordingly.
She looked at Yvonne apologetically, but Yvonne waved x [if happily. “If you really feel sorry, just remember to get Merry to callGodmother more often. When I'm old, she can cand take care ofin the nursing home.” Melanie smiled, but then she suddenly felt a bit embarrassed when she met Xander’s eyes.
Just moments ago, Melanie was so immersed in her own emotions that she had not noticed anything wrong.
Now, however, she felt a burning sensation in the hand Xander had just held. It was scorching.
Feeling unusually awkward, she grabbed her phone and stood up. “I'm going outside to make a call to a client.” Yvonne clicked her tongue disdainfully as Melanie stepped out. She then cast a disapproving glance at Xander.
“Just staring won't do any good. You think that’s gonna make her your wife?” Xander’s gaze on Melanie just now was so intense that even Yvonne could not bear it. No wonder Melanie wanted to escape outside.
She carried Merry upstairs, but just as she took the first step on the stairs, she stopped and turned back. “This is such a good opportunity. If you still can’t seize it, I'll really wonder if there’s something with you.
wrong Chapter 8.23 2/2 “I wasn’t joking when | mentioned Philip just now. He's wealthy, handsome, and family-oriented- the perfect man. If he pursues Mel, you'd better get ready to cry!” Melanie did not really have a client to call. She just stood outside the villa and watched the snow- capped mountains in the distance, enjoying the clear weather.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXander's gaze had been quite intense just now. He seemed somewhat different ever since she saw him at the airport. Being an adult, she understood that the meaning behind his gaze was pretty obvious.
Frankly speaking, Xander had always been a gentle and somewhat of an aloof person in her mind. When such a person looked at someone with almost fiery eyes, it would make their heart race. It was just like the deep sea, surging solely for one person alone...
An abrupt sound snapped Melanie back to the present. She noticed several people coming out from the neighboring yard. Quite coincidentally, the leader among them was Simon.
Simon saw her and called out loudly, “What a coincidence.” Melanie glanced at him before turning around and heading back to the villa.
Evening approached. Yvonne and Reny were busy arranging things for the New Year's Eve celebration while Merry sat on the couch, playing with her shoes.
The doorbell rang. Thinking that it was something Yvonne had ordered, Melanie went to open the door.
When she saw who was standing at the door, however, her smile faded.
